Comments on: Pitcher's Duel: Clemens, Trainer On Hill

Both Head To Meetings With House Members; Ex-Trainer Says He Has Syringes Used On Pitcher

All that proves is that the trainer had access to Clemens. Anything that he has, unless there were several witnesses who will testify that he placed those items in sealed evidence bags and has some type of chain of custody to prove that they weren''t tampered with, is inadmissable as evidence.

They kept gauze and syringes for 2000/2001????? Something doesn''t smell right.

MLB should clean it''s own house. Congress should look at the rest of our problems.

SgtRDS:
You are so correct! But now, we have to explain to most who is Al Kaline.

I''ve met him and yes, he is the gentleman.

Last time I looked Baseball didn''t kill 3000+ Americans in a senseless war, or cause housing foreclosures on a historic scale. Maybe, these are the things the Congress, that we elect and pay for, should be investigating. If it''s illegal, then arrest them and let the legal system handle it. When people are dying and losing homes, I could give a squat if a "juicer" hits harder or runs faster. I''d also like CBS to do a cost study on this waste of time. Including the forests they''ll cut down to print this report on.

On this so called evidence, what doctor keeps old syringes and gauze? Did he think they''d become ebay collectibles?

Glad to see that Congress is attempting to fix something. They can''t find time to address the serious issues facing this nation, but let a few ball players do steriods and they get all fired up. What a joke our political system has become. What next hearing on why people were late paying the paperboy.

Does anything in this story matter? who cares? This is such a pitiful waste of time for such an inept congress. Its the economy, stupid!!!!

It''s a shame that people would choose to distort their bodies and ruin their health for fame and glory. Maybe if they weren''t paid these insane gazillion dollar contracts only those who really are passionate about athletics would want to compete. Same with models who purge all their food and ruin their health.

This witch hunt is out of hand. Our country has some really serious issues to worry about other than this krap.

The things our government officials will do to look busy.... I have sent e-mails to both my senators to protest the wasted effort of crucifying overpaid idiots and gloryhounds. One of them actually replied to me, even if it was just a thank you for my opinion. The other one Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn) has yet to respond to any e-mail ( illegal immigration,out of control government spending, etc,). What about investigating the inflated egos of our senators? Their waste of my tax dollars is criminal.

And Congress should be wasting their time and our money with this because...?
